For the Love of Men- Liz Plank

This week, the Real Friends take on toxic masculinity (again) with Liz Plank’s book For the Love of Men. It presents a new vision for mindful masculinity and we are ~here~ for it.

For the Love of Men in One Sentence:

MP: Fuck toxic masculinity, check in on your male friends or loved ones, and let them feel their feelings.

Court: The patriarchy is why we can’t have nice things!

Erks: It’s always the patriarchy!

Read along with us!

10/11: Wow, No Thank You. By Samantha Irby

Before you go!!! Please allow this twitter thread where a guy brought his childhood imaginary friend back to life using A.I. (#GPT3) to haunt you like it haunted us. It’s definitely a commentary on modern masculinity, he said it was one of the scariest and most transformative experiences of his life, and WE GET IT.

We’ll see you on the interwebs! Check out our instagram @realfriendsbookclub or our website realfriendsbookclub.com.
